Album Notes & Community Reviews

A savage, technologically precise continuation of the extreme metal band's vehemently misanthropic, pro-environmental narrative. Travis Ryan's signature vocal approach鈥攕eamlessly alternating between low gutturals and a bizarre, melodic goblin-esque shriek鈥攑rovides a chilling focal point amid the hyper-speed blast beats. The devastatingly grim lyrics depict a world drowning in its own manufactured plastic waste.
